PITTsBURS, June Ill. NJ. Wade,
Esq, of Braxton Court House, W. Va =,
passed through the city this morning on his
way to New York, to take steps in an i'm
portant legal case.
He was to confer with number of East
ern capitalists, who own several hundred
thousand acres of land in the interior of
West Virginia, which is a vast wilderness.
Numerous squatters have settled on this
land and after cutting of the timber and
roughly fencing in portions OF the land,
propose bringing suits for titles to those
sections OF the property in their possession.
MrWade goes TO New York to consult
with the owners of the land TO define their
rights and privileges.
In speaking of the proposed extension of
the p, V. x c, railroad, he said: "Ex-
Senator Camden has taken an interest in
the road and it will be extended to New
Geneva from Brownsville. From there it
Is proposed to continue it to MOrgantOwn,

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE steamer Cham
plain, of the Northern Michigan Line, was
destroyed by fire shortly after midnight
this morning off Charlevoix.
The fire started in the fireman's room

abandoned in ten minutes, and before the
boats could be lowered. Fifteen to
twenty lives are known to have been lost.
The list of lost so far as known is as fol-
lows:

SHORT AND BITTER.

OHiciaI Notice of the X. of l.. Board Con-
ceruinE the Suspended weavers.
PHILADELPHIA, June 1.-THE General
Executive Board of the Knights of Labor
has issued the following order:
Official notice is hereby given that a
statement is in process Of preparation by
the General Executive Board, giving q
correct history of the difficulties which
finally resulted in the revocation OF the
charter of District Assembly l26 and OF
the local assemblies thereuntO attached.
The statement will be made in the proper
way 10 the order. The same peDured
seoundrels who have betrayed heretofore
the secrets they have sworn to keep lnVlo-
late will doubtless sell this announcement
TO the public press. But until it is re-
eeived in the usual and official way no
attention must he paid to newspaper
gossip.
Meantime the order of nOn-intercourse
issed by the General Executive Board
must be rigidly obeyed and enforced. 1t
will be found, when all the facts are made
known, that the General Executive Board
has acted strictly within the line Of its
duty and authority; and that the only
thing in which it has erred, If error has
been committed, has been in deferring
decisive action until forbearance was in
terpreted as cOWardiee, and inSubordina-
tiSn unchecked passed human endurance.

Desperate Condition of the FOrty-Niners-
Rejoicing Among Their Opponents,
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE desperate
condition of the affairs of District Assembly
40 continues to be the topic Of discussion
in Knight of Labor circles.
There is general rejoicing among the OP-
ponents of the Home Club,
The leaders of the Home Club are so
anxious that they held a secret conference.
Those present were Harry Taylor, Assist
ant Secretary at the General Office OF the
order in Philadelphia; Thomas b. Mcclure,
Victor Drury, James Quinn, the District
Master Workman Timothy Putnam Quinn,
Treasurer Hugh Carey, of d. A. 49, and
some lesser lights
The conference lasted for hours and was
held at Quinn's house. A plan OF cam
paigu WAS made to uphold the waning
power of the club in the district. One OF
the district delegates said to a reporter that
il was too late. When the proper time
came the club would be extinguished.
The delegate said that not n Home Club
man would be elected to represent the Dis
trict in the General Assembly, not even 1.
b. Mcclure.
The delegate continued; I'VE kept
them in power because we were hood
winked. Now We see that these men have
used us to bolster their position. That
ends their authority. The club has now
the trustees and all the best men OF the
District against it. The consequence will
be that harmonious relations will be es-
t,bl;sbe1 yvith other districts and even
Powderly himself will rejoice. These men
have been like the "Old Man Of the Sea
on the General Master Workman's back;
be could not shake them of, and they were
pulling him down n their own level.

WHAT THEY SAY.

Comments of the New York Editors on the
Order and the Resembling.
YEw YORK, June 1.-THE Tribune to-
day says: The indignation caused by
President Geyeland's inexcuSable order
concerning captured rebel flags was by no
means confined to Republicans. Loyal
Democrats were hardly whit less out
spoken in condemning it. The order is re-
cinded, not because Mr.. Cleveland has any
respect for the wounded feelings of North
eru patriots, but but because the flags can
not be surrendered lawfully without the
action OF Congress. The men who fought
for and saved the Union have nothing to
thank the President for, and will not soon
forget his attitude toward those who did
their best to destroy it."
The Herald editorially declares that
President Cleveland is as far ahead of his
time as Charles Sumner was The day
must come when ali reminders of the war
must be obhterated. General Fairchild,
the Herald adds, is an aspirant for the
Presidency and has seized this opportunity
to make capital for himself. He does not
represent the mass Of the veterans, who
are willing to let sectional feeling die out
Under the caption "Mr. Cleveland
Takes Warning" the sun says: The
President made great mistake in order
ing the return of the Confederate battle
flags, and he did not cOuntermand his or
der too promptly. 1t is quite probable
that in the expressions which he used

things. He trihed with the popular ideas
and outraged the inmOSt emotion of the
mighty mass of people"
In its editorial on the action Of the Pres
ident in eountermanding the order the
Times says: The grounds on which the
President rests his action will be recogniz-
ed as sound by the country. The original

AN ATROCIoUs CRIME.
A TweIve-Year-OId Boy Charged Will

A TweIve-Year-OId Boy Charged With
Murdering His Mother.
EATON, o., June l7.-COroner c. c. Jones
this morning rendered his verdict on the
body of Mrs. Nancy Beall, who was mur-
dered Monday evening.
The verdict is that deceased came to her
death by two pistol shot wounds, which
are described. The Coroner's finding con-
tinues:
81 further find that while it seems al
most impossible to conceive that one 80
Young, and especially son, could commit
such an atrOciOus crime, yet the evidence
presented TO me and the circumstances
surrounding the case are 80 strong, that |
feel warranted in fixing the crime on John
A. Beall."
An affidavit was then sworn to by Mar
shal COrwin before the Mayor and war
rant issued for the boys arrest. The YER
dict seems TO meet with the general APP
proyaI of the public. Johnny Beall, who
is thus found guilty OF the murder OF his
mother, is but twelve years old. II Is be
lieved the boy will confess and some start
ling events may follow, as without doubt
the crime was instigated by some older
heads.

Union flags, captured in active service, but
recovered on the tall OF the COnfederaCy and
forwarded to the War Department for safe
keeping, together with a number OF Con-
federate flags, which fortune placed in our

in the past, favorable action has always

supported, for the return of Union flags to

military regiments in the service of the

would be graceful to anticipate further
requests of this nature and venture to sug-
